A Lake Monster on the Coat of Arms

Kelowna lies at 119.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−7, is built around the 105°W meridian. The 14.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 58 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:58 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−7 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 21m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 5m. The swing between them is 8h 16m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Kelowna the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 04:48, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 21:11. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Kelowna that civil twilight runs about 32 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 44 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
